As we stated in the introduction to this blog post series, our purpose is to give you insight into the issues you should address when you are at the early stages of establishing a cloud security program.

If your organization is just starting out on its cloud security journey — whether it’s a rapidly growing startup or a more established company — it’s important to develop a strategic security roadmap that’s suited to its early-stage maturity level. You should not reasonably expect to go from no security or rudimentary security to a full-blown, encompassing program in one step. It’s far better to take a graduated approach by defining objectives that will give you reasonable protection now, that won’t drain your budget and resources (and possibly divert critical resources and attention away from your company’s primary business goals) — and that will also serve as a rock solid platform to build on when you want to move up to the next level of maturity on the cloud security ladder.

What you need is an end-to-end roadmap that will get you started in cloud security monitoring, address your first round of security concerns, and noticeably and measurably improve your security stance, all in a reasonable amount of time and for a reasonable expenditure of money and resources.

And that’s exactly what we’ll do in this post: walk through five steps that will help you develop a strategic action plan that includes defined goals and is targeted at your organization’s specific maturity level, needs, and resources. Read more “Planning Your Cloud Security Program”
